Pray for your friends and then they’ll have the strength to move forward through life’s challenges.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Can you imagine walking 40 miles with your brother on your back? Well, this is what 14-year-old Hunter did in an effort to raise awareness for his seven-year-old brother, Braden, who has cerebral palsy. Braden is unable to walk, so Hunter strapped his little brother to his back and began the 40-mile trek. The two almost considered stopping around the 30-mile point. It was hot and both boys felt like they couldn’t go any further. But that is when Hunter made a phone call to a friend. And what did his friend do? He said a prayer over the phone right there for Hunter and his brother. That’s all it took for the two boys to keep striving for the finish line. You know, friend, if a faith-filled prayer has the power to move mountains, as Mark 11 says, it can move tired legs! Today, do your friends a favor: pray they’ll have the strength to keep striving forward through life’s challenges.
